Fish advice for pregnancy, breastfeeding and children
On FDA and EPA's fish chart: Tuna, canned light (includes skipjack): Best Choice; Tuna, albacore/white tuna, canned and fresh/frozen: Good Choice; Tuna, yellowfin: Good Choice; Tuna, bigeye: Choice to Avoid.
FDA and EPA advise people who are or may become pregnant, people who are breastfeeding, and parents of children 1 to 11:
- Pregnant or breastfeeding: 2 to 3 servings a week from the Best Choices list, or 1 serving a week from the Good Choices list. A serving is 4 ounces.
- Children: 2 servings a week from the Best Choices list. A serving is about 1 ounce at ages 1 to 3, 2 ounces at 4 to 7, 3 ounces at 8 to 10, and 4 ounces at 11.
By the week
EPA's daily limit for methylmercury adds up to about 49 µg a week for a 154-lb adult and 10.5 µg for a 33-lb toddler. A daily limit is an average over time, so one fish meal counts across the whole week.
- At FDA's average for cod, baked; salmon, steaks/fillets, baked (52.1 ppb, 54 samples, 2017-2020; not a test of this product): about 8.3 servings of 4 ounces a week reach EPA's limit for a 154-lb adult; about 7.1 servings of 1 ounce for a 33-lb toddler.

Typical for smoked fish
FDA doesn't test this exact kind of food, so these are the closest foods it does test. Treat them as a rough guide.
- Cadmium: typically 0.6 ppb (FDA, 54 samples, 2017-2020).
A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 7.9 kg (17 lb) a day; an adult at about 37 kg (82 lb).One serving (50 g, from the label):under 1% of a toddler's daily limitunder 1% of an adult's daily limit
- Mercury: typically 47 ppb (FDA, 54 samples, 2017-2020).
A toddler reaches EPA's daily limit at about 29 g (1 oz) a day; an adult at about 130 g (4.6 oz).One serving (50 g, from the label):▲ 1.7× a toddler's daily limit37% of an adult's daily limit
- Arsenic (total): typically 2,370 ppb (FDA, 54 samples, 2017-2020). No US agency limit we can cite.
- Lead: usually below 4 ppb, the lab's limit, in FDA's samples.
FDA samples behind these numbers
- Lead in Cod, baked: found in 0 of 27 samples, all below 4 ppb (2017-2020)
- Lead in Salmon, steaks/fillets, baked: found in 0 of 27 samples, all below 4 ppb (2017-2020)
- Cadmium in Cod, baked: found in 16 of 27 samples, average 2.19, highest 11 ppb (2017-2020)
- Cadmium in Salmon, steaks/fillets, baked: found in 13 of 27 samples, average 1.6, highest 11 ppb (2017-2020)
- Mercury in Cod, baked: found in 27 of 27 samples, average 83.4, highest 140 ppb (2017-2020)
- Mercury in Salmon, steaks/fillets, baked: found in 27 of 27 samples, average 20.8, highest 46 ppb (2017-2020)
- Arsenic (total) in Cod, baked: found in 27 of 27 samples, average 4,915, highest 10,900 ppb (2017-2020)
- Arsenic (total) in Salmon, steaks/fillets, baked: found in 27 of 27 samples, average 376, highest 1,400 ppb (2017-2020)
- Perchlorate in Salmon, steaks/fillets, baked: found in 4 of 20 samples, average 0.88, highest 12.1 ppb (2008-2012)
Left out of the summary above: Perchlorate. FDA measured it in only some of these foods, so the result describes those foods, not the whole kind.
"Typically" is FDA's middle sample. Daily amounts use the long-run average and each chemical's daily limit (EPA reference dose, or FDA's level for lead) for a 33-lb toddler and a 154-lb adult. ppb = micrograms per kilogram of food. Source: FDA Total Diet Study.
